I need help please with Ve Configure battery type selection when using Allgand Gel VRLA 200ah batteries. I have the MultiPlus II 48/3000 and are using 4 200ah batteries in series. I guess I am not able to use one of the pre configure battery types but am not sure how to retrieve the correct data from the data sheets of the batteries used.
you use the VE config to set the parameters you will then need to get that info from the battery suppler or take a close enough guess that you are comfortable with
Hi Paul. I understand that I need to use VE config to input the values but I have difficulty understanding where to get all the input values required from the data sheet supplied by manufacturer.
Somebody might help if you post the datasheet or link to the website . for GEL VRLA it is not that difficult
You will need Max charging current, float and absorb voltages
if the attached datasheet is for a same battery then values in brackets apply
Charging current typically C10 so for 200 AH it will be 20 amp ( 30 AMP max)
The float will be in the range of 54. to 55.2 ( 54 V)
Absorb will be 56.4 to 57.6 (56.4 V)
If in doubt you can set lower values of the range to get you going till you find the correct values from supplier
